<h2 id="sec-1">1 Introduction To AxsJAX-Enhanced Google Reader</h2>



<h3 id="sec-2">1.1 What Is AxsJAX-Enhanced Google Reader?</h3>



<p>
AxsJAX-Enhanced Google Reader is the same as  Google Reader with
the following additional features:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Focus is placed on the current article/tree item when you navigate to it using the built in Reader navigation keys
</li>
<li>
Quick jump to the "Browse for Feeds" panel
</li>
<li>
Keyboard navigation for feed bundles and feed search results
</li>
<li>
Focus is placed on the currently selected tag when you bring up tag navigation


</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="sec-3">1.2 How Can I Start Using AxsJAX-Enhanced Google Reader?</h3>


<p>
The simplest way to get started is to use <a href="http://firevox.clcworld.net/">Fire Vox</a> and check the
"Site Specific Enhancements" option. By default, this option is
checked, so if you did not change it, then you should be ready to
go. To start using AxsJAX-Enhanced Google Reader, all you
need to do is go to <a href="http://www.google.com/reader">Google Reader </a> - the AxsJAX enhancements will
automatically be added for you. There is nothing Fire Vox
specific about AxsJAX - to use a different setup, all you need to
do is make sure that you have the following:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
A modern Web browser like Firefox 2.0 or later that supports
W3C ARIA.
</li>
<li>
An adaptive technology that will respond correctly to the
accessibility enhancements introduced by W3C ARIA.
In particular, many of the enhancements injected by AxsJAX
depend on support for <i>live regions</i> a feature that enables
adaptive technologies like screen readers and self-voicing
browsers deal correctly with asynchronous updates to
portions of a Web page.

</li>
</ol>

<p>If your setup meets these requirements, you can either install
<a href="http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/748">GreaseMonkey</a> and install the <a href="http://google-axsjax.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/googleScriptLoader.user.js">GreaseMonkey script for AxsJAX enhancements</a> or you can install <a href="https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?continue=http%3A%2F%2Fcode.google.com%2Fp%2Fgoogle-axsjax%2Fdownloads%2Flist">the bookmarklet for AxsJAX enhancements.</a> Keep in mind that if you use the bookmarklet
approach, you will have to activate the bookmarklet when you
visit the Google Reader start page  in order to activate the AxsJAX
enhancements.
</p>

<h3 id="sec-4">1.3 How Do I Use These Features?</h3>


<p>
All of the AxsJAX enhancements are designed to augment the
existing keyboard support present in regular Google Reader by
generating additional focus events so that the assistive
technology automatically speaks the item having focus. If your
assistive technology uses different modes e.g., <i>browse-mode</i> in
JFW, please switch to the mode that you use for working with
forms and web applications so that your keystrokes will be sent
to the web page itself. When you are on the Google Reader page,
the following keys are available:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
 ? (question mark): Brings up a list of keyboard commands
</li>
<li>
 / (slash): Puts focus on the search articles  box
</li>
<li>
 n: Go to the next item (article, search result, or feed bundle - depending on what is currently open)
</li>
<li>
 p: Go to the previous item (article, search result, or feed bundle - depending on what is currently open)
</li>
<li>
 Shift and n: Go to the next feed in the subscription list
</li>
<li>
 Shift and p: Go to the previous feed in the subscription list
</li>
<li>
 Shift and o: Open the current feed
</li>
<li>
 b: Go to the "Browse for Feeds" panel
</li>
<li>
 s: If you are on an article, pressing s will star that article. If you are on the "Browse for Feeds" panel, pressing s will put focus on the search for feeds box.
</li>
<li>
 t: Brings up the tag article box
</li>
<li>
 Shift and s: Share the current article
</li>
<li>
 e: Email the current article
</li>
<li>
 v: View the original article; this will open a new window
</li>
<li>
